Faye Elizabeth Marsden Obituary (1929 - 2013)

Our beautiful, beloved Faye, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, passed through the veil on August 2, 2013, surrounded by her loving family. Faye was born October 22, 1929, in the avenues of Salt Lake City, the sixth of seven children. She was raised in Murray, Utah. There she met Hal S. Marsden, her eternal sweetheart and companion. They were sealed in the Salt Lake LDS temple on September 2, 1949. Together they have five children. She received her LPN certificate from Salt Lake Community College. She had great opportunities working in the operating room at Primary Children's Hospital and as OB/GYN nurse to Dr. Howard Sharp and Drs. Irion, Terry and Labrum. At the end of her career she worked as a private duty nurse. Her greatest joy was her family. They loved her, always with hugs and kisses. She especially delighted in her great-grandchildren. She loved spending time at Bear Lake, Warm River and St. George. Her oldest great-grandson, Bryton Liljenquist is currently serving in the Villa Hermosa, Mexico Mission. "You're the best, Great-Grandma Faye!" She had a great testimony of the Savior, Jesus Christ. She served in the LDS church as secretary of the Relief Society, YW advisor, visiting teacher, ward and stake choirs; and for the last ten years has served with her husband in the LDS branch at Cottonwood Hospital and Intermountain Medical Center. She loved her roses and had a beautiful soprano voice. She crocheted many exquisite doilies, afghans and baby shawls for each of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren which they especially treasure.
